Unneeded

Unneeded

That was what I was. I had known for awhile, hell, I knew when we were human that one day my baby sister, by two minutes and fourteen second, would no longer need me.

I remembered nearly my whole human life, whilst Jane only remembered me. This was something that fascinated Aro. My earliest memory was when Jane and I were six years old.

*flashback*

“Ahhhhh!!!!!!” Jane’s scream filled the otherwise quite night. Alec awoke with a start.

“Jane?! Jane?! Are You Alright!?” Alec an over to Jane’s bed and Jane pulled him in with her. The only sounds that filled the night were Jane’s muffled sobs as she cried into her older brother’s chest.

“It was so scary Alec! The monsters were everywhere! They killed you Alec!!” Cried Jane looking up with her big, and now puffy blue eyes.

“Don’t worry Jane! No one will ever hurt you while I’m around! Promise!” Alec’s voice was slightly muffled as he buried his nose into her long hair.

*End Flashback*

I shouldn’t be thinking of this! I tried to ignore the stinging in my eye. I had to be strong, for Jane.

Why? It’s not like she needs you! You shouldn’t even stay here! You’re a burden to everyone around you! That annoying voice in the back of my head was getting harder and harder to ignore. It was worse that it sounded like Aro and my mother’s voice warped together.

I thought back to the promise Jane and I had made after the first time we used our powers, back when we were human. Jane had promised she would only use her power to help people, to destroy all the evil in the world. Destroy the rapist, the slave drivers and our village. I promised to help her but made another promise to myself that no matter what, no matter how much pain it causes me that I would never let Jane get hurt.

I almost kept that promise. I nearly got the entire village to think I was the only one with the powers but Jane wouldn’t let me, she had stepped up saying she had them too and so our judgment came for our crimes of witch craft. Burned at the stake. Even now as a vampire I still have the scars on my body from that day, the venom couldn’t fully heal it.

Jane was lucky though, I’m happy she was. Jane was my flawless angel. Was. Jane was no longer my Angel, I could see that as I stand here watching her torture another helpless victim. What happened to our promise? What happened to my sweet innocent little sister?

Aro.

No Alec. You can’t let your anger get the better of you. Not again.

Jane was a woman now, not on the outside of course, never on the outside. She had been with so many men, I’ve lost count. She’s been with me quite a few times though. I doubt she cares that its incest, wrong. Then again we’ve both always had been wrong.

Wrong for the world. Demons.

Maybe…just maybe it would be better if I left. Jane doesn’t need me anymore. She had Aro. Aro to give her encouragement, love. I was Unneeded. I’m weak though, I know I could never leave her. She is my drug. My whole essence craves her, her body, her soul, her eyes, her laughter, her smile. I’ve always wanted what I can’t have.

I suddenly realize I’m in my room, moving so fast I didn’t even notice?

In a sudden burst of strength I realize, I have to leave. I’m only holding her back and she deserves the best. The very best the world can offer. I’m am not the best, I’m nothing, I’m unneeded.

I open our closet move aside Jane’s clothes and grab all of my own and shove them into my bag. I have no reason to be here. I could care less about what Aro wants. He’s got my sister; he has taken everything, my world, from me. After packing a few pictures, books and other possessions I race out the door. I faintly here someone calling me. Another thing I easily ignore.

I race out of Volterra, out of my home. I just keep running anywhere, as far as my legs will carry me. Faster! They might catch up soon.

I suddenly collapse. Even vampire have limits and I guess I just reached mine. I was deffinetly out of Volterra, out of Italy. Away from Jane.

I guess this is where my life begins?
